Important Safety Instructions 

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE  

 

Remove the exterior and interior packing. 

 

Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. 

 

Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This 

will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation. 

 

INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE 

 

 

WARNING

: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors. 

 

CAUTION

This appliance is designed for storing and cooling beverage or wines. Do not store perishable 

food, medicine or other medical products. 

 

Place your appliance on a hard and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.  

 

To level your appliance, adjust the legs(2 large leveling legs and 1 small leveling leg under the door hinge) 

at the bottom of the appliance if needed. 

 

When positioning this freestanding wine cabinet refrigerator, ensure that there is at least a 4” clearance at 

the sides and a 6” clearance at the back. Please note that this is a freestanding appliance and should not 

be placed into a built-in space. Even with the recommended clearance, there may not be adequate airflow  

 

We do not recommend installing the appliance on carpet. 

 

Ensure that the condensation tube is directed into the drip tray located at the back of the unit to prevent 

leakage. 

 

Do not install the appliance near an oven or other heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic 

coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. For best performance, do not install the 

appliance behind a cabinet door. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to 

perform properly. 

 

Avoid locating the appliance in area that may be exposed to excessive moisture. 

 

Plug in the appliance into an exclusive, grounded wall power outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or 

remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding 

should be directed toward a qualified electrician or an authorized service center. 

WARNING  

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using 
your appliance, follow these basic precautions:  

 

Read all instructions before using the appliance.  

 

DANGER or WARNING: 

An empty wine cabinet refrigerator can be a hazardous for children or 

small pets. If disposing of the wine cabinet refrigerator, remove gasket seals, latches, lids or the entire 
door from your unused appliance, or take other action to ensure the appliance  is harmless.  

 

Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance. 

 

Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids or harsh chemicals. The fumes can create a fire hazard 
or explosion. 

 

Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other 
appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have 
the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. The 
cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. 
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that 
matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading 
house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling 
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace imme-
diately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks 
or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage 
the power cord.  
 

EXTENSION CORD 

 

Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with 
this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-
Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the 
electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
